CARE AND MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE UNIT CAUTION: Before cleaning or servicing this unit, disconnect from any electrical supply outlet. 1) DO NOT use gasoline, benzene, thinner, or any other chemicals to clean this unit, as these substances may cause damage to the finish and deformation of plastic parts. 2) Never attempt to clean the unit by pouring water directly over any of the surface areas, as this will cause deterioration of electrical components and wiring insulation. 3) Unplug the unit. 4) Clean the unit by wiping off any dirt/dust with a soft damp cloth or vacuum cleaner, then wipe dry with a dry soft cloth. CAUTION: Always store the unit in vertical position. DO NOT put heavy objects on top of the unit. CLEANING THE CAUTION: Never operate this unit without the air filter in place, as this may result in AIR FILTER damage to the unit. If the air filter becomes clogged with dust/dirt, air flow is restricted, which reduces cooling efficiency. The air filter should be cleaned every two (2) weeks. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on indoor air quality. Fig. 4 NOTE: The air filter is located at the upper rear side of the unit. 1) To remove the air filter: Pull the air filter cover upward in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 4) and remove the air filter. 2) Dust/dirt clogged in the filter can be removed by vacuum cleaning the soiled areas. 3) The filter can also be washed in lukewarm, soapy water while rubbing it lightly with a brush. A mild detergent (diswashing liquid) is recommended. 4) Rinse the filter well using clean water. Allow time to dry before reinstalling into the unit. 5) Replace the air filter and cover. 6) Replacement air filter information is available by contacting the Customer Service Department at: 1-800-26- (1-800-263-2629). 8
